I agree with whoever wrote the "Just bought and will update as time goes on" review. Those that poo-poo the car either haven't been one for very long or are just out-there (I'm looking at YOU Edmunds so-called experts). I have the base model FWD and it will chirp the tires from a standing start. I don't know where they get this underpowered idea, I have been able to zip through traffic with ease and it has enough to pass semis on two-lane roads without blinking. If you actually do some research and analyse the options presented, the LT and Premium trim levels do not really add that much to the vehicle. It is a small SUV, for cryin out loud, if you want to haul bricks, ladders, half the grocery store or have a big family, get a USS Nimitz class Suburban or something of that ilk. The interior is a bit quirky, but does make use of the space nicely. It does have 4 cup holders in between the front seats. I like that because I can have more than one cup/bottle of whatever for long drives! I have had it for 42k miles or so and have had no issues. It has been avergaing 31.1 MPG (the dash says so). I wish those "experts" would actually drive the vehicle for more than half a second and when they do compare them, use the same type of vehicle to compare them to.

I purchased a 2018 Trax with 8,000 miles. The dash went black several times along with the display on the radio. While I was driving down the interstate, the car made a clicking sound and the dash and radio went completely black and then all the lights came on and the odometer bounced from 0 to 60. I had zero heat. Like no heat. I called the dealership and the service department stated they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle. I landed up trading it in.

If I could give this a zero I would. My wife’s boss purchased this for a delivery vehicle for the bank they work at. So far it’s been in the shop 7 times it a 2018 with 53,000 miles. The largest of the breakdowns was a rear end module which was a $ 700. Repair and yesterday the ac compressor went out which is $ 1,200. This vehicle has never been abused and has always had regular maintenance. Unfortunately they did not purchase an extended warranty bc they usually trade it in every three years. Besides the two main repairs there have been electrical problems and steering problems all I will say if you purchase a Trax make dam sure you get an extended bumper to bumper warranty. Good luck.

I purchased a fleet vehicle, 2018 chevy trax. It has all the bells and whistles. I fell in love with it. Within two weeks, the check engine light came on. I thought, not a problem still under warranty. A week later check engine light. I am on my third check engine light and just made my 1st car payment. Hmmmm. It's now 2024, I still have my Chevy Trax 2024. I just got it out of the shop for yet another check engine light. Yes, you guess it. It's the same sensor. Apparently, it's an on-going problem with these cars. Luckily, I purchased the extended warranty.

I just totaled my 2011 Jetta TDI. My rental was a Hyundai Tuscon which was amazing but heavily priced over my budget. I got the Trax and i really enjoy it. It's definitely not the most glamorous thing but still amazing. The interior is great and the back up camera is very clear. The camera almost has a full 180 look behind you which is amazing during dark settings like a storm or night time. The touch screen interface is really nice as well. I can display my map for my GPS and my songs at the same time (carplay). My only complaint really is the fact that the seats sit high where the cup holders and stuff are considerably lower than you. That doesn't make sense unless you get into one of these, go look at a trax. You'll understand then. The base model doesn't include basic things like cruise control but its whatever. I guess the lower commoners don't deserve that level of luxury. All in all, this is a great car for the price and I heavily recommend it.
